Abstract
A system and method for conditionally transitioning a navigation process on a mobile device between an active state and a reduced activity state are described. In particular, a transition of the navigation process between the active state and the reduced activity state may occur in response to the mobile device approaching a transition location on a predetermined route where the navigation process is to transition to the active state.
Claims32
A method for managing a navigation process on a mobile device, comprising:
- transitioning said navigation process from an active state to a reduced activity state;
- and
- transitioning said navigation process to said active state from said reduced activity state in response to receipt of one or more signals indicating that at least one condition has been met, said at least one condition being determined, at least in part, by a transition location on a predetermined route where said navigation process is to transition to said active state.
A mobile device comprising:
- a receiver to receive radio frequency signals;
- and
- a processor to:
- transition a navigation process from an active state to a reduced activity state to affecting processing of said received signals;
- and
- transition said navigation process to said active state from said reduced activity state in response to receipt of one or more signals indicating that at least one condition has been met, said at least one condition being determined, at least in part, by a transition location on a predetermined route where said navigation process is to transition to said active state.
An apparatus for managing a navigation process on a mobile device, comprising:
- means, for transitioning said navigation process from an active state to a reduced activity state;
- and
- means for transitioning said navigation process to said active state from said reduced activity state in response to receipt of one or more signals indicating that at least one condition has been met, said at least one condition being determined, at least in part, by a transition location on a predetermined route where said navigation process is to transition to said active state.
An article comprising:
- a non-transitory storage medium comprising machine-readable instructions stored thereon which are executable by a special purpose computing apparatus to:
- transition said navigation process on a mobile device from an active state to a reduced activity state;
- and
- transition said navigation process to said active state from said reduced activity state in response to receipt of one or more signals indicating that at least one condition has been met, said at least one condition being determined, at least in part, by a transition location on a predetermined route where said navigation process is to transition to said active state.
